After relocating to Columbus, Ohio she participated in the founding of the Columbus Center for Spiritual Living and became a charter member. Since then she has been joyfully involved with Sacred Services including Greeter, Usher, Service Coordinator, and CORE Council Secretary. The CCSL courses, such as Visioning, Practical Mysticism, and The Essential Ernest Holmes have been a big part of her spiritual growth. Peggy is very grateful for the many relationships she has developed at the Center that have supported and enhanced her life in Columbus.

Peggy’s vision for the Center for Spiritual Living: “I envision the Columbus Center for Spiritual Living to be a vibrant, loving, welcoming and diverse community that provides a spiritually nurturing and healing environment. I see a Center that fosters teamwork and leadership and that operates with a high level of integrity and fiscal responsibility. As the Center continues to grow and mature as a community, it will assume a greater and greater role in the spiritual awakening of those who participate in the Center, of the larger community in which it resides, and of the entire global consciousness. Being a member of the Visioning CORE would provide me with the opportunity to develop and expand this vision.”
